31
What is an EIA?

 Environmental impact assessment

(EIA) is the process of
identification, prediction, evaluation
and mitigation
How is EIA used?

 EIA is a decision making process for reducing

impacts on the environment resulting from human
activities
 EIA is a legislated element of the project
development process
 EIA processes vary in terms of the types of
projects to which they apply and whether the
assessment must consider effects of all phases
of the project life cycle or just the construction
phase.
 There is also variation in the scope of factors
(environmental, social, economic) that are
considered.
EIA APPROACHES AND
METHODS:

1) predictive methods;
2) environmental risk assessment;
3) economic analysis; and
4) expert systems and professional
judgement
 Systematic Sequential Approach (SSA)
approach to “thinking through” the
causal chain:
activity - changes - impacts – mitigation
 Simulation modelling are techniques for
taking network representation of
impacts and building simple conceptual
models.
Spatial analysis methods allow for the
presentation of the spatial pattern of
environmental impacts through map
overlays.
 Rapid assessment techniques designed
to cope with need for quick assessments
to deal with rapid changes
EIA TOOLS AVAILABLE:

 Checklists and matrices

 Networks (causal chains: activity - changes
- impacts – mitigation)
 Sectoral guidelines
 Overlays
 GIS and computer expert system
 Ad hoc methods

project will outweigh the
negative consequences or
risks on the environment
